FARMERS ALLIANCE
The Convention HTeets with Delegates
From EowR, Nebraska and other
GRm0am

The Convention sTeetS with Delegates
From HowR, Nebraska and Other
States.
Minneapolis dispatch: The National
Farmers alliance began its seventh an
nual convention here this morning with
fifty delegates present from Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Dakota. The only business trans
acted this morning was the appoint
ment Of the usual committees. Secre-
tary Milton George, of Illinois, reports
1000 more alliances added since last
session, and that there are 600, 900 mem
beers in all. The Southern alliance has
been invited to send delegates and move
for consolidation OF the two.
At the afternoon session Of the Ma
tional Farmers alliance, Secretary
George presented his report. Mayor
Ames welcomed the alliance and j. O.
Kennedy, Of Iowa, responded. Preai-
dent Streeter had no written report but
made short address.
On the report OF the committee on
credentials o brisk discussion arose
over misunderstanding in Minnesota
about the basis OF representation.
A split in the committee was narrowly
averted. No evening session was held.
Secretary Milton Scorf OF Illinois, in
the course of his annual report, ex-
pressed his conviction that the republic
is in the trough Of the sea. ''Tn organ
lied condition" said he, I'VE have been
and still are the prey of all other classes
| Rings plumber us when we sell, and
rings plumber us when we buy. The
railroad monopoly has fed and grown
upon our throats, and we are finding il
exceedingly difficult to break its relent-
less grasp. IL is idlo for us to expect
that other classes will look after our in
| terests.
"On the fences OF our farms sit the
agents OF every kind OF combination,
and ii it is barbed wire fence they are
tough enough to sit on it, watching
every hill Of corn and blade of grass,
and every hoof for the purpose OF abb
Borbing them. We are constantly under
the surveillance Of well-trained and
conscientious army OF leeches, and
never, until the farmers Of this country
are thoroughly organized, will that
crowd get off that fence and that army
fall back at a respectful distance.
From one corner is coming great
wave of monopoly" he continued,
(which seems TO confscate the property
Of others, and from another corner ia
coming great wave OF ragged socialism
and murderous anarchy which not only
seeks to confiscate our property but Ia
destroy our lives, and the republic must
! ever rest its sure hope for protection on
the Bun-browned hands Of farmers"

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. Alt was
just ii when General Master Workman
Powderly raped the knights of Labor as
sembly to order. There were about $50
delegates present. Tho secret session
lasted the remainder of the forenoon. Cen
eral Master Workman Powderly welcomed
the delegates in brief speech General
Secretary Litchman said he desired more
time, and adjournment was taken until
this afternoon.
At o'clock the general assembly was
again called to order and the report of the
committee on credentials received. Some
184 delegates were favorably reported,
while few were without the endorsement
of the committee. The principal case was
that of j. X. Buchanan. Over his
admission there was a long and warm
discussion, which was protracted till z
o'clock, when the convention adjourned
till o'clock tomorrow morning. Bu-
chanan's chances for admission are regarded
as very poor. Perhaps the most important
proposition that is likely to come before
the general assembly is scheme to unite
the Knights of Labor and the National
farmers alliance, into one organization.
The plan now proposed is to make the
farmers alliance national trade body,
witha title of national district assembly.
"This would make team" said leading
delegate to-day, (which would move the
earth. With the farmers with us we could
do what we would toward the accomplish
ment of the purpose of both bodies Gen
eral Secretary Litchmen said, in an inter
view, that the organization was never as
strong. both financially and otherwise, as
it is to-day.

THE GROWS.
old sitting Bull said 80 Fss so Bfnwe Tor
xRse Present Dameonsens-


Butte IN. ~ special: Sitting Bull,
the great Sioux chief, is TO blame for
the present discomfort amongst the
Crows. When on visit TO the Custer
battlefield last summer, at a joint coun-
ell, he was heard to say: Look at that
monument. 1t marks the work OF my
people. We are respected and fed by
the white man because we killed his
great chief and more than 800 of his
warriors upon this spot. The Grows get
only one pound of beef per ration. We
got one and a half. We do not work,
but ride and visit friends as we please.
See your little lodge houses and farms.
You are the white mans slave. He Is
teaching you to labor so that you forget
the war songs of your fathers. The red
man was made by the Great Spirit to
fight and hunt and be as free as the
prairie winds. The white man was made
TO work.
The visit was made when the Crows
were busy harvesting. The effect of the
speech can easily be imagined. Agent
Williamson has endeavored to improve
their condition by giving themimproved
farming machinery and better quarters,
but to no avail. He has also tried to
suppress DEMONSTRATING and raids by and
on the Piegans. The Crows lately de
termined to retaliate, when successful
raid was made on the Piegans' camp.
On their return to the Crow camp the
Indians determined to have ''sun-
dance, which Agent Williamson stop
ped. The marauding Indians are under
arrest
Saturday the disaffected band entered
into the agency buildings. The agent
applied to Fl. Custer for aid. -Four
companies of calvary were sent to rescue
and protect the settlers along the val
ley.
saws the Indians are about equally di-
vided. A great many are going over to

county, which adjoins the Indian reser.

my convention at Mitchellstown the Soli-
citor General telegraphed in Gypher to the
Crown Council mistake O'Brien will beat
us. Harrington to be disbarred at our
next meeting This explains why re-
ceived three separate summons. The
plot for running Harrington here is dis
closed with british condor. In an inter-
view Harrington says: Perhaps some of
my words at the Mitchellstown inquest
were too strong for some of our English
friends, but nothing else could elicit the
facts from the police. Twas informed the
police had previously determined to give
me all the insolence possible in the wit
ness chair. Sergeant Ryder pledged him
self to his companions to strike me. The
Inspector, however, restrained him. /

dence are placed before the English peo-
ple."
"A dispatch from Madrid says: Eight
battalions of infantry, besides the cavalry
and artillery under General Lasso, have
been ordered concentrated at Malaga, in
readiness to cross to Morocco. Several

THE Sands I,ot Orator.

CHICAGO, Oct. dennis Kearney, the
agitator, arrived in Chicago from the Pacific
coast this morning and left for New York
in the afternoon to take part in the three
cornsred political struggle waging between
the democrats, republicans and followers Of
Henry George. Kearney on reaching Chi
cago made an immediate effort to sec the
condemned anarchists, particularly Par
sons. The Pacific coast agitator was
quietly but firmly denied admission TO the
Jail by the managers in charge. He went
away lamenting and telling how four years
ago he had advised Parsons to leave bombs
slone and take to ballots or he would surely
get his neck in the halter, but Par
sons only laughed. Kearney says that on
reaching New York he will make seriea
of speeches, taking the ground that the
question of questions for the workingmen
at this time is not far off the issue of land
taxation, but the laboring people should
concentrate every effort upon passing law
through the very next session Of congress
making the exclusion Of the Chinese from
the country absolute. He will urge that
the hands Of the democrats be strengthened,
their representatives at present being the
strongest anti-Chinese advocates. 1t will
be an UNNECESSARILY greater victory, he
thinks, for the workingmen now to help
pass the Mitchell anti Chinese bill when
congress assemblies, for side issue, than to
weaken the democracy and indirectly
strengthen their pro-Chinese republican
opponents. After leaving New York
Kearney proposes to renew his Chinese
sgitation in all the principal cities Of
Canada.
